Study Notes
Data Management: Basic Concepts and Fundamentals
- Data management is the process of collecting, storing, organizing, and maintaining data to ensure accessibility, accuracy, and readiness for analysis.
- It involves handling data throughout its lifecycle, from raw data collection to processing, storage, and preparation for decision-making.
Key Concepts
- Data Collection: Gathering relevant and comprehensive data from various sources (e.g., customer databases, sales records, social media).
- Data Storage: Secure and systematic data storage using systems like databases, data warehouses, or cloud storage solutions, enabling scalability and large-scale data management.
- Data Cleaning and Preparation: Ensuring data quality by removing duplicates, correcting errors, and handling missing values, critical for accurate analysis.
- Data Governance and Security: Establishing policies for data access, privacy, and compliance to protect sensitive information.
- Data Integration: Combining data from multiple sources (e.g., CRM systems, marketing platforms) to gain a holistic view for comprehensive analysis.
- Data Access and Analytics: Making data accessible to the right people at the right time using dashboards or analytics tools to support data-driven decision-making.
Data Collection
- What it is: The foundational step of gathering data relevant to business questions or objectives. Data can come from internal or external sources.
- Key steps:
- Identify data sources
- Define data types (structured, unstructured)
- Select collection methods
- Ensure ethical and legal compliance (data privacy laws)
Data Storage
- What it is: Storing collected data safely and efficiently, based on size, type, and access requirements.
- Key steps:
- Choose storage solutions (databases, data warehouses, data lakes, cloud storage)
- Organize data structure (schemas, table names, etc.)
- Ensure data backup and security (encryption, access controls)
Data Cleaning and Preparation
- What it is: Getting data into a suitable shape for analysis (data wrangling). Fixing errors, standardizing formats, and filling in missing information.
- Key steps:
- Remove duplicates
- Fix data quality issues (errors, inconsistencies)
- Handle missing data (imputation methods)
- Transform data for analysis (format conversion)
Data Governance and Security
- What it is: Managing data access, privacy, and security.
- Key steps:
- Define access controls (role-based access)
- Establish privacy and compliance standards
- Create a data usage policy
- Implement security protocols
Data Integration
- What it is: Combining data from multiple sources to get a unified view of the business.
- Key steps:
- Establish common data definitions
- Use ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) tools
- Ensure data synchronization
- Resolve data conflicts (discrepancies)
Data Access and Analytics
- What it is: Making data accessible for analysis and insights.
- Key steps:
- Implement business intelligence (BI) tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau)
- Ensure role-based data access
- Enable self-service analytics
- Measure key metrics and KPIs (Key Performance Indicators)
